Face 27 of 29

 a few years ago, my dear friend Abigail and I got together to do art

this piece started then and was finished today

we took heavy paper and put some sort of heavy paste on it and pressed burlap and bubble wrap into it for fun and texture

carved words and sketched a loose face with a stick

after it dried i believe we put a wash of dark ink or paint that would go into the grooves, i chose purple

 then played with oil pastels

feels good to complete it

I had to photograph it outside

(leaning against a grinding stone, surrounded by a wasp nest, piece of bird egg, colorful Montana Rocks)

did not want the oil pastels on the scanner

29 Faces

I have been enjoying adding to this chart

i start with one color as rich and pure as i can get it

make the first square

then dipping my brush in a tiny bit of water and if need be, 

more color 

then

make the second square and so on

diluting each square

i was surprised 

to find that many of the colors when quite diluted 

become a color that can be used for skin

these are all Daniel Smith Watercolors

I love their paints

this little face 

does not excite me

but it is fun to see that i used mostly the same color on her

Quinacridone Sienna 

 

i love how diverse one color can be!

29 Faces: #21 Lucky Charm

this little yogini fairy

has a message for you:

Let Me Be Your Lucky Charm

~

I am posting this early for St. Patrick's Day

It is in my SHOP as a greeting card or print

I think a man or a woman could give it to one another.

You could write:

Let me be your lucky charm

or

Will you be my lucky charm

~

even though this is more than a face

this is my face 21 for 29 Faces

DC: Cocoon

imagine
that our bodies
are a cocoon
a sacred nest
for our heart
a protective
nurturing
safe haven
for our hearts to flourish 

within

i know
our hearts are but one of our physical organs

that live in our cocoon
yet

our hearts
are also spiritually wise and a link to more
than our physical existence

our bodies a cocoon
for our sacred heart

~

thank you dear  Patrice for hosting us

cocoon

Face 15 & 16 for 29 Faces

I have been doing a good deal of  29 Faces in two sketchbooks that do not support

watercolor in a grand way

i am getting away with it

yet paper becomes wobbly as i add layers of color

it is all a lot of practice

so wobbles are ok

DC: sixes and sevens & 29 Faces

 

when her feelings and life were in 

disarray

chaotic and confused

she would wrap her hearts wings around her

bathing in their healing way

letting the troubles melt away

finding her way back

to the center of her vitality

and 

peace

spent a lot of time this week 

attempting to understand our DC,

sixes and sevens

thought of lost things, such as keys and glasses,

too much to do

etc.

created sketches

then this idea rose out of real life

and took hold

CT: Box of Chocolates

I was once given a box of chocolates made by Teuscher

oh yum - they are so very good! 

the box was a jester 

and his body was full of 

champagne truffles!
such unique packaging!

I always wanted to paint the container

 Creative Tuesdays 

theme

was the perfect inspiration to do so!
